Frequently asked questions

#
What does Hermit Sage do in Palworld?

-50% SAN Drain, -20% Work Speed and World Tree resources don't vanish when approached. It is a rank 5 World Tree passive (the highest tier, with a drawback).

Does Hermit Sage stack with other passives?

Passive effects on different stats simply apply together. Passives that raise the same stat add up, so Hermit Sage stacks with other passives that change sanity_drain and work speed. A Pal still holds at most four passives, and it can't have the same passive twice.

How do I get Hermit Sage on my Pal?

It never appears as a random roll, so it has to come from a parent. You can also breed it down from any Pal that has it, or implanting it at the Pal Surgery Table.
